davidelliott294 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 When are you puttin' the turbines on? That message has been in the title for a while now. What colour are you going? Will I get mine on first? Is it a race?Just as soon as I have enough for Potenzas, last couple of months have been expensive so couldn't get the tyres. You will most likely have yours first and they will be staying the same colour (I think) not entirely sure yet.I could just go buy **** tyres but I've had scary experiences with them letting go without warning.in the wet in the past.

davidelliott294 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Congrats on the job what was it exactly you accepted?Got offered a job at a local factory which makes ready to eat snack salads and potatoes for Marks & Spencers. It's really good pay, £8.32/hour, which is good considering I am still at College full time. It is weekend shifts, 6am-2pm... Ouchy . It'll pay off with a healthy bank balance though. They may also have a full time position for me in Summer when College is out which is ++. I start next weekend . MOT and Tax is due next month as well^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelliott294 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Brakes ordered, ordered myself mintex discs and pads. Gonna pick track rod ends, abs sensor and a wheel bearing up locally and hopefully get all this done at some point next week. Coilovers ordered this coming Friday (12th) and tyres for the turbines will be ordered the week after (20th)!MOT & Tax the week after that!

davidelliott294 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Couple of days ago I gave the car a good wash followed by de-tar and wax. I used the autoglym de-tar stuff and autoglym HD wax. After de-tar:Waxing:Pointless pictures but a thread is always better with pictures .Got my Mintex brakes today and fitted them this afternoon. So much better to drive now! Warping was ridiculous!Rear brakes were pretty shagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidelliott294 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) This arrived a day early:Fit them this week. I've been taxed when i shouldn't be and pay is weird so unsure if tyres will be ordered this Friday. Hopefully they will be. Really excited to fit them, been waiting for this since September when I got the car!EDIT: Decided to buy cheapos because I'm not sure of I'm keeping the car after I turn 19. If I do, I'll probably upgrade to KWs. Edited April 15, 2013 by davidelliott294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
